Rarnunn,s Circus.

This year Barnum has provided even a
better and larger show than ever before.
There are 100 startling acts, al of which are
given in three rings, Upon an elevated stage,
and on the hippodrome racing track. There
ARE three circus companies and 800 perform
ers, museum of living wonders, an aviary,
two menageries, herd of elephants, drove of
giant camels, the wonderful hairy family
from Burmah, King Thebaw's mascots; Cap
tain Paul Boyton's aquatic performances, in
a specially constructed lake of clear water.

when in life, colossal elephant skeleton,
Alice, Jumbo's widow, from the London
Zoo. clown elephant Roman hippodrome,
with its exciting contests and combats, so
railroad cars. 90 cages, 33 golden chariots,
800 horses, numerous ponies, payroll of
over 800 people, and many highly sensational
European novelties. 1t is the grandest show
that p. L. Barnum eyer had, and that GER
tainly means most wonderful display of all
that is curious, rare, wonderful, odd, strange
or remarkable in the animal kingdom, all
that is phenomenal in living human beings,
and everything of an instructive, marvellous,
startling or daring character in the way of
performances. Ten million people have
seen it, and ten million more are going to do
So The usual price admits, and there are no
extra charges for anything. The circus will
be here tomorrow, make a street parade at s
a. m. and exhibit on the grounds in Deering
at the usual hours.
1t is to be expected that, if reserved seats
are sold by the management at Stockbridge's
as usual, no more tickets will be sold than
the seats will accommodate, as has been
done once or twice of late years; and also
that the ushers will courteously seat the
holders of reserved seat tickets.

The Maine Register for 1897

The merits of the Maine Register have
been too long known and appreciated to call
for commentator at this time. The book
has become public necessity, Indispensable
to everybody whose pursuits require accu-
rate and minute information concerning the
State and its various cities and towns. A
vast amount of information is crowded be-
tween its covers, SO arranged and classified
as to be of great practical value. The pres
ent volume has been prepared by Mr.. G. M.
Donham, gentlemen thoroughly qualified
for the task, and to say that the work has
been well done is putting it very moderately.
The State institutions have been re-arranged
and classified, and several other improve
ments have been introduced, while the errors
of previous volumes have been eliminated.
The price of the book is $1.50. Its value it
is hard to estimate in dollars and cents.

PHOTOGRAPHY AFLoAT.
A Strange Looking Boat with Three
Hulis.

The ordinary appearance of the docks on
the easterly side of Custom House Wharf
was changed yesterday afternoon by the ar
rival of craft, the like of which has never
before cast anchor in Portland Harbor. The
boat is about twenty-six feet long and
schooner rig. and has apparently three hulls.
To begin with there are two long narrow
boats like those forming the hulls of catama-
rams. Between these, instead of deck or
platform, is another boat with keel and
looking as If she would float off all right il
the catamaran part of the continuance was
demolished. This last boat does not touch
the water, being supported by the catama-
ran, and is entirely enclosed making roomy
cabin. with deck overhead through which
rise the masts, cockpit at the stem and a
small space of deck room around the sides
formed by the projecting bulls of the float
ing portion of the catamaran.
The new craft is built for use as novel
as the boat itself. She is photographer

r. G. Condor, of Friendship, intends to voy-
az e along the coast photographing objects of
interest and pic turesQue bits of shore. The
cabin. which is not yet finished, will be fit
ted up with dark room for finishing the
pictures and everything necessary for the
work
Mr.. Condor built the boat himself, doing
everything except the iron wolk and rigging

says that his craft made as good time as

model would have done. This was with q
suit of sails much smaller than those which
will be used hereafter. The new boats
rough weather qualities have not yet been
tested, but both the craft and her capabili.
ties were thoroughly discussed yesterday by
a large number of interested people who
saw the strange schooner.

The question OF enforcing the Sunday laws
is generally discussed by people on Peaks

law and order residents that the sacredness
of the day should be better regarded than
it has been by many people. In addition to
the various "sacred?" entertainments of the
day, it is proposed by parties seeking after
gain, to open sacred clam bake" soon. if
